LIFE OF HENRY SMITH.

A copy of the Life and Times oil
Henry Smith, first American Gov
ernor of Texas," recently issued from
the press in this city, has been pre-
sented to the HERALD by its dislill'
euished author, Hon. John Henry
Brown. The book is printed in plain
plea type. doubtless an intended COM
piiment to the veterans who Will so
eagerly sean its pages, aud is quite
large. well bound aud handsome vol

We know of no book having been
pub ished concerning the frs. Aneri-
can settlements in Texas aud their
subsequent trials, hardships and I'M
paralleled achievements, in any
manner covering the ground or sup
plying the place of this work; hence'
il is n contribution TO Texas biogra-
phy and history which cannot be too
highly priced or 100 handsomely
rewarded by the people OF the state
The author, himself Il youthful actor
aud heroic participant in the thrilling
events which he so s.'aphica'Iy por-
trays. retains vivid personal recollec-
ton of these times that tried mems
souls" and of the gallant band of
patriots who made glorious for all
time the early history of Texas; while
his long subsequent career as jour
nalist and legislator, and constant
familiarity with the public affairs OF
the State down TO the present time,
have enabled him to collect II fund OF
reliable data, quite beyond the reach
of any other man living.
A number of popular errors are
corrected in this work, as Tor in'tancc,
the evidence presented showing
Henry Smith to be the originator or
father of the movement for Texas
independence. in the face of general
impression heretofore prevailing that
Stepben +. Austin was the leader, in
stead of rather reluctant follower,
as is here indicated.
Present demands on the columns OF
the HERALD preclude the extended
review of this work which its i'm
portance would well Justify; but the
opportunity is embraced to commend
il unqualifiedly to Texans, and to all
persons feeling au interest in the
early history OF the rising young
Empire of the Southwest.
Ii is also matter of graduation that
